Frequently Asked Questions
- Our Ugandan vanilla bean powder is made from 100% pure, whole Grade A vanilla pods (Vanilla planifolia), 15 cm or longer, sustainably sourced from a single estate in Uganda. The pods are ground to an extra-fine 300 microns, with a vanillin content of 0.8-1.1%. It contains no added sugars, preservatives, or fillers, ground and packaged in the USA.
- No. Because this is pure, whole ground vanilla bean rather than a spray-dried, water-soluble powder, it will not dissolve. It disperses as fine granular specks throughout a recipe rather than fully blending in, which is a sign of purity rather than a defect. For best flavor, we recommend slightly blooming or cooking the powder into your recipe to help release its full aroma.
- Use a 1:1 ratio, one teaspoon of vanilla powder for every teaspoon of vanilla extract called for. Ground vanilla powder also works as a substitute anywhere a recipe calls for vanilla beans or vanilla paste.
- Both are made from Vanilla planifolia, but the flavor differs: Ugandan vanilla powder has a rich, creamy, bold flavor, while Madagascar vanilla bean powder offers the more familiar, classic sweet vanilla flavor most people expect. Either makes an excellent 1:1 substitute for vanilla extract.
- If you're looking for a fruitier, more floral vanilla flavor, try our Tahitensis-type vanilla powders, made from Papua New Guinea or Ecuador grown beans.
